Magnolia, by Yoko K



木蓮やパンジー待たずに散り始め

もくれんや　パンジーまたずに　ちりはじめ

陽子

Magnolia
Petals begin to fall
Even before pansies show their faces


例年は園芸店頭にパンジーが並ぶと春が来た！と喜ぶのですが、この３月は大変暖かく、黄色いフオシシアが咲くのと同時に木蓮の花が一斉に開き、しかもすでに散り始めました。ところが肝心のパンジーはまだ園芸店に現れていません。。

In usual years,the appearance of pansies at nurseries announces the arrival of spring. Because this March is very warm, magnolia bloomed at the same time as yellow forsythia, and began to shed petals. Pansies? They are not seen yet.
